This review is for the part-time Intro and Advanced Web Development course.
This is a great package of courses for those who are new to coding! For some background, I have little to no prior coding experience and found these courses to be pretty fast-paced, but not unreasonable. You learn a lot in a short amount of time and should be able to create some advanced web layouts by the end. Tom is an excellent instructor and did a great job at conveying the information to students, while simultaneously fending off the constant heckling by one student.
My biggest complaint is that each course only has 1 day of office hours which is simply not enough. For the premium price we pay (and it s increasing btw) there should be at minimum two days of office hours per course. It also takes a while to receive feedback on projects which makes it hard to start on the next project when you don t have any feedback on the previous project. The last issue I see is a clear lack of room in the building to accompany all the students trying to study. Basically, if you re not in the bootcamp, you don t have a place to study.
Overall, I enjoyed the course and learned a lot! Thank you to all the mentors and Tom for doing such an excellent job!
